Artist Statement

Using the two very symbolic colors of the Chinese Flag. The Five cicadas represents the fives stars, the working class, the peasantry, the urban petite bourgeoisie, the national bourgeoisie, and the communist party.

Cicadas has been known for its noise they make. Most people in the east sees cicadas as a blessing, when the season starts to warm up, it’s the reminder of summer vacation, time for the beach, or relax and enjoy the heat. In the west, the 17 year cicada comes out every 17 year, when ever they hatch, several million will swap over state to state, and consume every crop where ever they go.

The Trompe l’oeil Wood Plank is handbuild from terracotta clay, the cicadas are made from slip cast porcelain.
